7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dehumidifier does not turn on. | No power; Water tank full or incorrectly placed. | Check power connection; Empty and correctly reinsert water tank. |
| Little to no water collected. | Low room humidity/temperature; Room not sealed; Unit operating for less than 24 hours. | Ensure humidity is >45% and temperature is >15°C; Close doors/windows; Allow 24 hours for initial operation. |
| Unit stops after 24 hours. | This is normal for some models to prevent overheating. | Allow the unit to rest for at least 10 minutes to extend its lifespan. |
| Dehumidification efficiency decreases at extreme temperatures. | Operating temperature is below 15°C or above 40°C. | The unit will continue to operate, but efficiency is reduced outside the optimal temperature range. This is expected behavior. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Unit not on a level surface; Obstruction in fan. | Place on a stable, level surface; Check for and remove any obstructions (after unplugging). |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
